Bad breath (Halitosis)

[Guest guest]

Dear Roopa

I am giving some reason of Halitosis . P;ease read them and write to me what symptoms do u have .

Rasvaidhya Gunjan thakur

the fruity odor to the breath occurs as the body attempts to get rid of excess acetone through the breathing. This is a characteristic sign of ketoacidosis, which may occur in diabetes, and is a potentially life-threatening condition.

A fecal odor to the breath (the breath smells like feces) can occur with prolonged vomiting, especially when there is a bowel obstruction. It may also occur temporarily if a person has a nasogastric tube (a tube placed through the nose or mouth to the stomach to drain the stomach contents) in place.

The breath may have an ammonia-like odor (also described as urine-like or "fishy") in people with chronic kidney failure.

Common Causes

If previously normal breath turns into halitosis, causes could include:

Food or beverages consumed (such as cabbage, garlic, raw onions, or coffee)

Vitamin supplements (especially in large doses)

Poor dental hygiene

Dentures

Cavities

Tobacco smoking

Alcoholism

Throat infection

Sinusitis

Lung infection

Gum disease (gingivitis, gingivostomatitis)

Abscessed tooth

Impacted tooth

Foreign body in the nose (usually in children)

Often (but not always) there is a white, yellowish, or bloody discharge from one nostril
